Friday Night

This has actually been a quiet week, here in Alville, something that doesn't happen very often. When we first got together, we were both riding the merry-go-round, but we knew if we got together, it would not continue.

What we decided was, that instead of the merry-go-round, we would attempt to ride the roller coaster. We will hang on tight to each other and scream like hell in the corners.

We have survived so far, but it has not been easy.

My mom has said "It is a testament to your love for each other that you have stayed together through all of the stuff you have been through".

Some times it seems like we have to pack a lifetime of crap into our relationship.

We will survive.

On a lighter note, on Fridays at work they serve an excellent clam chowder. I usually don't pack a lunch, because I love the chowder. That doesn't keep me from making fun of it.

I am standing in line with T, and remark "Once I got the clam".

"You know, they take a 55 gllon drum of chowder, and they drag a clam through it on a string. If you are lucky, the string breaks, and you get the clam. Once I got the clam."

People were chuckling at our conversation.

As I got in line to check out, I heard T. behind me "Hey Al, I saw the clam. I didn't get it, but I saw it."

I suggested that we should start a society. The ""I saw the Clam" society. We should print t-shirts with the slogan.

"I saw the clam."

We wondered how long it would take Management to ban us.

Gawd, I hope you never get hooked on the crab bisque.

Maybe the t-shirt should say "I ate the clam"

that is hilarious!!!! It's like a king cake where everyone is looking for the little plastic baby cooked inside and you all stand around asking "did you get it? I didn't get it. Who got it? Can I see it?" Al, your humor is infectious.

My Peanut Dad had to lie to me to get me to try clam chowder. He told me it was potato soup (because I would NOT eat clams!)

I liked it and have been eating it ever since.

Glad to hear you and Mrs. Al are still hanging on tight and screaming around the corners...;)

PQ: Chowder IS basically potato Soup with clams added.

The only milk-related soup ingested here is Potato soup.

All other chowder/bisques are basically hot milk with random crap thrown in.

GAH.
